More Changes

Here I have moved the whole section from Yung Samurai to the bottom, up towards the top. I did this in order to create more room at the bottom for an editors section. Also it meant I had to condense the Contents listings. I prefer having the listings closer together without the large spaces.

Contents Page draft so far.

The layout so far is what I'm going to use with my own images. It needs refinement but I like the simple black and white style.

Contents Page Conventions

Q Magazine

Banner across the top has the magazine logo and 'contents' written on it. On the right of the banner there is the issue date and number.
The column on the left has the contents listing. The page numbers are highlighted in the same red as the masthead. This is known as the colour scheme or house style. In the listings there is an 'Oasis Special' that is highlighted in gold. The large image is for the feature artist and main article. This takes up a lot of space to make it eye catching to the viewers.
The bottom section of the page has a 'review' section for Albums, Books and Music Videos are subjected to critique.
These sections cover a broad variety of medias within the music scene.
